Swarovski Makes a Blog Beautiful

Family owned and operated since 1895, I’ve always liked that about them.

They also throw classy affairs.

Where I always run into Casie, hi hi.

They were celebrating their new line, Kingdom of Jewels: Rock Royalty.

I have a finger-ring like that, there’s probably a photo around here somewhere….. yup, click here. Been wearing it since grade 12, ha.

 

 

I Hacked My BFF

Here’s the link to Casie’s post.

Here’s a screenshot from the video I filmed during it.

I took over her Twitter account, it took minutes, and required no special skills.

We’ll get into how you can better protect yourself when using public WiFi, but until then…

Use your cell phone to connect your laptop when you can;

it reduces the size of the attack surface.

 

 

Saturday Nights are for Blogging

And doing your nails.

Love doing my nails.

That tool is key, learned that from @It’sBrownBarbie. My nails are even on Casie’s blog right now. Are you following Casie’s blog? You should be.

I’ve been trying stickering my nails, I get it.  Don’t bother buying cheap ones though, they don’t fit (see above), a total waste.  I’d like to try having a professional put them on.

Back to blogging.

You can tell it’s Saturday night when you see the bubbly water by my monitor. No joke, check my Twitpics.

Thursday nights though, I say it every week…

Tonight I finally got to some back-end-blog maintenance, caught up on having reliable internet again.

Made Sidebar Art.  

Which is so beautiful it’s in it’s own post here.

I was going to talk on the phone while I did that, but never picked it up. Enjoyed the silence.

I’m a fan of silence. How you can fully concentrate with music on, I don’t know.

Have a great long weekend!!

Enjoy family and friends, enjoy IRL, put your phone down.

 

 

Please Give to Dare to Wear Love

This Friday is the closing night gala of Toronto Fashion Week, the 3rd Annual Fashion Show Dare to Wear Love.

Top Canadian designers create one-of-a-kind dresses from African fabric, which are worn down the runway by Canadian celebrities (look for Casie!).  Money raised goes to the Stephen Lewis Foundation which helps mothers, grandmothers and orphans with AIDS in Africa.

Click here to donate.

It’s founded and hosted by my old pals Chris and Jim of Hoax Couture.  When I moved to Toronto in 2008 and knew no one, they took me under their wing and helped install me into the city.  We played poker, went to Caribana and Chris got me to cook one time.

I attended their first year and filmed a ‘Canadian Explorer’ episode, Exploring Fashion Week.

(Click here and here for the original posts. And yup, I really did get kicked off stage ha)

Good luck fellas! It’s gonna be great.
